In a surprising turn of events, Adam Reynolds, the Brisbane Broncos captain and experienced halfback, has been linked with a potential move to a Sydney club just weeks after expressing his openness to a switch for the 2027 season. Reynolds, one of several Broncos players set to be off-contract at the end of the next season, finds his future uncertain, with many anticipating his retirement in 2026. This speculation arises as the club signed Jonah Pezet to lead into a new era.
The 35-year-old has yet to make a decision about his retirement, but recent reports suggest a significant shift, with Reynolds possibly returning to his former team, the South Sydney Rabbitohs. According to The Triple M Whisper, "Adam Reynolds is looking to extend his playing career beyond next season, but it won't be with the Brisbane Broncos." The report continues, noting, "With Jonah Pezet joining the Broncos in 2027, I'm hearing Wayne Bennett wants to bring Reyno back home to the Rabbitohs."
Reynolds, a two-time premiership winner, has faced speculation regarding his future before. Prior to signing a one-year extension with the Broncos for the 2026 season, he nearly joined the Wests Tigers, a move that would have reunited him with former CEO Shane Richardson. This latest rumor adds another layer to the ongoing discussions about Reynolds' career trajectory as he navigates his options beyond the current season.
